I just picked up an RX 5500 XT 4gb for £90 for my daughters system, as her GTX 970 was running hot, loud, and thirsty. Gotta love those blower style coolers
This is a nicely made vid for a smaller scale channel, hope your able to blow up soon as you deserve the extra views/subs Btw I subbed cause it's good channel
Just recently found this channel, I've enjoyed every video since, keep up the good work and keep on providing a close look into actually played games Ty so much
This was the gpu I dreamed of having all through the gpu shortage/scalper pandemic. Then in September a rich friend bought me an RX 6600 for my birthday, though by that time prices had already started normalizing so I probably could’ve gotten one myself lol. But back when I was stuck with my RX 460 there was nothing else I could think of than an RX 5500 XT
And now a rx 6800 costs 500 Euros. How fast prices are changing. I would have opted for a 5700 or 6700 but the 6600 is great for Hd gaming but 5 months ago a 5700xt did cost 300 euros used so yeah. But it sounds like that you have or had your 6600 for longer than the time you wrote your comment so I would say congrats for getting an awesome GPU as a present ^~^.
@@Vixen1525 Oh yeah, I've had it just about 9 months now, it's great. I'm no serious gamer, but it plays everything that my friends and I play together at high frames with high settings on my standard 1080p monitor. Highly recommend the 6600!
Wanted to get a GTX 1660 Super/Ti for my first pc build (that was at the end of 2020), but 5500 XT 8GB was much cheaper in my area - I don't regret my purchase. Paired with a Ryzen 5 1600 AF (which was only €100 brand new), it serves me well for light-moderate gaming with a 72 Hz monitor.
I got two of my kids these back in 2020. I paid £180 each for them, Powercolor Red Dragon and MSI Mech. My friends said I should of got the RX 580 which was £160 new at the time. The 5500XT 8gb has come on strong and I feel performs inbetween a 1660 and 1660 Super. Im happy with them. One has a R3 3100 and the other has a R5 3600. Both have 16gb 3200mhz cl16
@@darkerpath That question really depends upon people, really... For me a Cyberpunk dipping below 45FPS is a deal breaker. Currently running R5 5600G (Yes, just that. No VGA) and living with life at a stable 45FPS low at 1080 setting really show how low someone (me) could tolerate. (It's other story games, but my case stands) And 33fps med at 1080 ain't it.
You knew you'd see me here lol. As always, good stuff. My take... I think neither card is great but both got way more hate than they really should have in their respective launches. 5500XT obviously though, the better value.
Bought an 8Gb 5500xt an hour ago for $130 with a few days till it arrives. This was perfect since I'm using the same budget build (lol) and didn’t do enough research Cheers!
This video has been out for a while so no one might notice this comment, but watching this video I didn't realise until later this channel isn't Hardware Unboxed. At 8k subs, this is most impressive quality!
Thanks for reviewing, I just got this card used and thinking of upgrading to 1660 super, is it worth it? it's below 30% performance change though. I feel better having the 5500 XT watching this video hah. Thanks
I got this card around three years ago as a replacement for the RX 470 and it’s still a really good card for what I do! I probably don’t need to upgrade my system for another 2-3 years.
Got an 8gb 5500 xt Gaming X for 63€, performs better than the Gaming X 580 8gb that sadly died on me. It's in general alot cooler and quieter thanks to its lower tdp. Really happy with that purchase
Well, the gaming performance is very similar indeed, however I would specifically point to the hardware video codec and a plenty of video output ports on RX5500XT. This is what would define my choice between the two.
Ey, I have the asus dual 8gb version - very nice nice card to have for eSports 1080p gaming. Couldn't test the card properly, in use in wife's pc. watching this video helps out with the info needed. Thanks for the video man. Cheers 👍🍺
Exact same setup that I built, and I'm perfectly happy with it as well. To be fair, it's the first time in over 10 years that I've upgraded my graphics card, so it's obviously not too high a priority for me.
I think the biggest issue is the 6500XT does *not* have H264/H265 encoding, and for some people that might be pairing one of these cards with older CPUs, that could be a deal breaker.
Yeah it is, but look out for the 1070 Ti which is priced used like a 1070 but performs like a 1080. I've managed to get a couple last week at £120-130 (although usually more like £150)
Hi, nice video ... I have a question: Would this card work on a dual setup pc ONLY for live streaming in 1080p 60 fps resolution? The games would be played by the gaming pc with another card
Correct. I tested both GPUs in Forza using the 5600G, so the 6500XT (a gen 4 x4 card) has been limited to gen 3 x4 and lost half of its PCIE bandwidth, giving the 5500XT an advantage. It’s would have been more fair if I had tested them both on a gen 4 system, but it’s too late now 😔
The 6500 Xf is a laptop GPU so 4 Lanes and 4 GB on a AIB for OEM system builders. HP and Drll so not really a next gen but a last minute offering to DIY due to no low end offerings
The "6500 XT" had no right to be named that way. It should have been called the "6400 XT", and there should have been a rule that all boxes and product listings come with a clear warning that a PCIe 4.0 motherboard is required for proper functionality.
I just realized i wasn't subscribed, just did.... late 2020 had me wanting to get the 8gb version of the RX 5500 XT but bitcoin mining kicked in late 2020 and i only managed to get a GPU (RX 6600) june 2022
It will remain relevant until the year you install software which it cannot run to your satisfaction. You should keep it until it can no longer run the software you install to your satisfaction.
I find reviewers to either be paid off, threatened into submission, or par-taking in market manipulation. I use to make games, I got emails from reviewers all the time either trying to extort me for money for positive reviews, or free crap, or else they'd give me a bad review. I was so small I didn't care either way. After watching the hardware unboxed incident I saw reviewers go from reviewing AMD 6000 series positively to purely negative. I suspect most of them feared losing their free nvidia review cards and just crapped all over AMD to please nvidia. I had nvidia 1660ti, 1060ti, 1030, 740, and out of amd camp I have had 6500xt and 6700xt. I had far more in the past decade but the 6870 1gb I had for nearly 7 years prior with no upgrades and it treated me kindly, and prior to that I had a nvidia 6800 gt for about the same time period. I found that the reviewers basically outright lied when it came to every AMD review after the hardware unboxed incident, and even used charts to make the 6800xt and 6900xt worse than they really were as well, most faked their data and lied in the reviews or would make a minor issue sound much bigger than it really was such as the 6500xt with no hardware encoding and making bold knowledgeable lying claims about it claiming you can't record gameplay or stream at all with this card in your system. I paired the 6500xt with the athlon 3000g, it is a extremely low budget machine and the 6500xt was only bought to improve the athlon 3000g I already had. That didn't stop a microcenter sales man to try to upsell me on a used 2060 that was double the cost and tried trash talking the 6500xt because some reviewer told him it was the worst card even in which he tried to refuse to sell me the card even though I explained to him what my use case was. He was only trying to sell me Nvidia cards and would even refuse to sell me a 6600 non-xt. I had to get one of his coworkers to get me the card, and his coworker Id known for years and he even told the guy I knew what I was doing and he still threw a fit like a rampit nvidia fanboy calliing all AMD cards shit and garbage in front of karen customers. Back to reviewers, Gamers nexus review of the 6700xt, there is his normal review and then there is his yeston wifu addition review. His normal review he craps all over the card acting as if it was the worst thing ever made, which used those faked charts and they are faked as his yeston review showing the same card shows all the AMD cards he compares it to to being better and the nvidia cards being worse if you compare one chart to the other chart. This to me is a clear cut case of reviewers are threatened into submission, are paid off, and partake in market manipulation. And that microcenter employee who refused to sell me a 6500xt which I was pairing with a athlon3000g tells me people listen to reviewers too much. There are many use cases in which both card manufactors topple each other at. In the new market there isn't a better cheaper card than the 6500xt. It is the best in its price bracket, in performance of games, and linux support. Nvidia is getting better with linux support but, it is still a nightmare across the board. My 1660ti tried to kill itself because the nvidia drivers couldn't figure out how to turn on the fans, I had to manually do it with editing drivers configuration scripts and then use greenwithenvy just to control the fans based off temp, and then ran into compatablity issues across the board and this was on every linux distro. I still run into compatablity issues on my AMD card, but that is mostly with distros like pop_os! That pretty much have nvidia driver support out of the box, and subpar intel amd driver support. Pop_os! has a slew of issues that actually make it worse than using ubuntu in its current state, and ubuntu in its current state is pretty bad due to package management systems and the software centers lack of support and many appliations just don't run on either correctly. Especially programming software.
The 6500xt is a bad card so reviewers were not actually wrong. Even on PCIe 4.0 and resize bar turned on I saw games stuttering like hell on high because of limited VRAM. I can ignore the lack of media encoder but not when my game starts stuttering terribly. AMD could have easily given us 8GB or at least 6 but they took advantage of the situation. This card made sense 1 year before but not anymore coz in my country used 2060s are selling for between 200-220$ and I think they are much better. Although AMD released an 8GB version of 6500xt recently, they are late. That should have been the original card
@@syedarman4720 6500xt sure is bad when compared to something double or more its price, but for its price bracket its actually the best thing you can get. A 3050 goes for litterally double the price, and when compared to a 5500xt its only marginally better. More vram isn't the only issue with the card how ever most of its limitations are from the 64bit bus, and not the vram. Used 2060s go for $200 now but back when the 6500xt launched they were easily $500+, and if you are argueing used prices you can get a 6500xt for $90. The problem with argueing used is you are comparing it to new, and even in the new catagory I have seen 6500xt's as low as $130 now with the average being around $150. But if you read my comment I go into great langth about how they treated the 6700xt, not the 6500xt. Reviewers out right lied about the 6500xt and the limitations set into motion based off not having hardware encoding making bold claims that they couldn't record gameplay at all without it. Which even a athlon3000g paired with a 6500xt can do. Nvidia was actually re-releasing 2060's at the same time in the launch window of the 6500xt, which made even less sense. The 6500xt is about on par with a 1660ti oced just with laughable raytracing support. For extreme low budget systems that you want a warenty on the 6500xt makes a lot of sense, but reviewers are not really keen on doing anything outside of systems that cost $4k+ unless it has nvidia's name on it primarly because they fear losing out on getting review copies of the cards as demonstraighted by the hardware unboxed incident where they said something slightly positive about a AMD card and got shat on for it and demanded they lose out on all future cards, it wasn't till the community outlashed at nvidia that they had reversed this decission and it is clear they didn't really reverse it more or less forced hardware unboxed to make a appology video to nvidia and remove any future claims of any positivity from AMD cards. This is what happened, this is fact, this is why reviewers do what they do when it comes to AMD, and they need to collectively give nvidia the middle finger but don't because they fear they might lose out on a $2000 graphics card for free early and lose out on their mark for getting the review out before the product is out. Even if you were to upgrade the vram the 64bit mem bus would be more of a issue, and even if you were to upgrade that the pcie x4 limitations would hit the fan. Litterally everything you are asking for is in the 6600 and is $100 more which reviewers also crapped on for being amd.
@@syedarman4720 actually after playing Minecraft rtx with my kid , on the 6500xt paired with the athlon 3000g I was actually surprised by how well it was keeping up
I absolutely hated this graphics card, the performance in Fortnite was absolutely abysmal for me. It seemed that it wasn't even utilizing the GPU fully. I've since sold the graphics card but it only had an issue with Fortnite. Stutters and bad FPS. I was only getting like 70 fps with terrible stuttering on 1080p Performance Mode. Tested Elden Ring and it played quite nicely.
Welp, I don't know what to say to that. Faulty sample? Driver issues? I don't often test PM as I see it as more useful for CPU comparisons than GPU, but I have been testing it using a GT 710 in the last few days, and with an overclock that card managed about 40 FPS. I'm not certain, but I'm quietly confident that a RX 5500 XT should be more than 2x faster than a GT 710!

Hi, nice video ... I have a question:
Would this card work on a dual setup pc ONLY for live streaming in 1080p 60 fps resolution?
The games would be played by the gaming pc with another card
You forgot to mention that the 5500xt had 2 more outputs, and an h264 encoder...
You could phase out Rainbow 6 for Witcher 3, especially with the upgrade being on the horizon.
4:58 am I missing something? It is actually 1 is to 1. The 5600G only has pci-e 3.0 support so the 5500xt is basically running at pci-e 3.0 x8 only.

My 1660ti tried to kill itself because the nvidia drivers couldn't figure out how to turn on the fans, I had to manually do it with editing drivers configuration scripts and then use greenwithenvy just to control the fans based off temp, and then ran into compatablity issues across the board and this was on every linux distro. I still run into compatablity issues on my AMD card, but that is mostly with distros like pop_os! That pretty much have nvidia driver support out of the box, and subpar intel amd driver support. Pop_os! has a slew of issues that actually make it worse than using ubuntu in its current state, and ubuntu in its current state is pretty bad due to package management systems and the software centers lack of support and many appliations just don't run on either correctly. Especially programming software.
The 6500xt is a bad card so reviewers were not actually wrong. Even on PCIe 4.0 and resize bar turned on I saw games stuttering like hell on high because of limited VRAM. I can ignore the lack of media encoder but not when my game starts stuttering terribly. AMD could have easily given us 8GB or at least 6 but they took advantage of the situation. This card made sense 1 year before but not anymore coz in my country used 2060s are selling for between 200-220$ and I think they are much better. Although AMD released an 8GB version of 6500xt recently, they are late. That should have been the original card
@@syedarman4720 6500xt sure is bad when compared to something double or more its price, but for its price bracket its actually the best thing you can get. A 3050 goes for litterally double the price, and when compared to a 5500xt its only marginally better. More vram isn't the only issue with the card how ever most of its limitations are from the 64bit bus, and not the vram. Used 2060s go for $200 now but back when the 6500xt launched they were easily $500+, and if you are argueing used prices you can get a 6500xt for $90. The problem with argueing used is you are comparing it to new, and even in the new catagory I have seen 6500xt's as low as $130 now with the average being around $150. But if you read my comment I go into great langth about how they treated the 6700xt, not the 6500xt. Reviewers out right lied about the 6500xt and the limitations set into motion based off not having hardware encoding making bold claims that they couldn't record gameplay at all without it. Which even a athlon3000g paired with a 6500xt can do. Nvidia was actually re-releasing 2060's at the same time in the launch window of the 6500xt, which made even less sense. The 6500xt is about on par with a 1660ti oced just with laughable raytracing support. For extreme low budget systems that you want a warenty on the 6500xt makes a lot of sense, but reviewers are not really keen on doing anything outside of systems that cost $4k+ unless it has nvidia's name on it primarly because they fear losing out on getting review copies of the cards as demonstraighted by the hardware unboxed incident where they said something slightly positive about a AMD card and got shat on for it and demanded they lose out on all future cards, it wasn't till the community outlashed at nvidia that they had reversed this decission and it is clear they didn't really reverse it more or less forced hardware unboxed to make a appology video to nvidia and remove any future claims of any positivity from AMD cards. This is what happened, this is fact, this is why reviewers do what they do when it comes to AMD, and they need to collectively give nvidia the middle finger but don't because they fear they might lose out on a $2000 graphics card for free early and lose out on their mark for getting the review out before the product is out. Even if you were to upgrade the vram the 64bit mem bus would be more of a issue, and even if you were to upgrade that the pcie x4 limitations would hit the fan. Litterally everything you are asking for is in the 6600 and is $100 more which reviewers also crapped on for being amd.
@@syedarman4720 actually after playing Minecraft rtx with my kid , on the 6500xt paired with the athlon 3000g I was actually surprised by how well it was keeping up
@@floralpoboop You are delusional
Radd-e-n. I like it.
I absolutely hated this graphics card, the performance in Fortnite was absolutely abysmal for me. It seemed that it wasn't even utilizing the GPU fully. I've since sold the graphics card but it only had an issue with Fortnite. Stutters and bad FPS. I was only getting like 70 fps with terrible stuttering on 1080p Performance Mode. Tested Elden Ring and it played quite nicely.
Welp, I don't know what to say to that. Faulty sample? Driver issues? I don't often test PM as I see it as more useful for CPU comparisons than GPU, but I have been testing it using a GT 710 in the last few days, and with an overclock that card managed about 40 FPS. I'm not certain, but I'm quietly confident that a RX 5500 XT should be more than 2x faster than a GT 710!
Performamce mode is for phones etc.
Set it at low/medium and Epic view distance. My kids get 150fps plus on Fortnite with 5500xt 8gb.
I honestly think Alien to the cube is the weakest Alien movie. Others may be technically worse, but they are at least more entertaining to watch.
I wouldn't miss r6 siege if you dropped it.
Weird the successor is worse
5500 is they best $100 card
Why you talk too much before showing avg performance in any games ?😠
Tech dweeb sent me :)
Oh BTW get rid of Rainbow 6 lol
The 6500xt is a joke
Test system: 5600G
DROP VIDEO
🤣🤣🤣
Don't the RX 5500XT have hardware encoding ? If so then the 5500xt win 😆
Can confirm they do. 👍
